Changes of symptomatology, tear film and ocular surface integrity one week during Somofilcon-A and Omafilcon-A lens wear

Hugo Pena-Verdeal et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of silicone-hydrogel and hydrogel contact lenses on symptomatology, tear film dynamics, and ocular surface integrity in novice contact lens wearers. The results showed that contact lens wear had an impact on ocular parameters, and the materials of the lenses also had specific influences on these parameters.

Quarter of a century of contact lens prescribing trends in the United Kingdom (1996-2020)

Philip B. Morgan et al.

Summary: This article summarizes the trends in contact lens prescribing in the United Kingdom over the past 25 years. The findings show that silicone hydrogel daily disposable contact lenses have become the most common fit, while rigid lenses and monthly disposable soft lenses are predominantly worn full time. In addition, the prescribing of toric lenses and daily disposable lenses has gradually increased, while the proportion of extended wear has remained low.

Influence of Artificial Tears on Keratometric Measurements in Cataract Patients

Veronika Roeggla et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the impact of artificial tears with different viscosity on K-readings before cataract surgery, with results showing significant changes in K-readings in dry eye patients after instillation of high-viscosity artificial tears.

Association of refraction and ocular biometry in highly myopic eyes

Yanxian Chen et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between ocular biometry parameters and spherical equivalent changes in a highly myopic population in China. Results showed that with age, axial length and lens thickness increased while anterior chamber depth decreased. In highly myopic eyes, lens thickness was significantly associated with changes in axial length, while vitreous chamber depth was a prominent factor in spherical equivalent changes.

Ultraviolet and Visible Transmittance of Soft Contact Lenses with and without Ultraviolet Blockers

Andrea Kapfelsberger et al.

Summary: Thicker soft contact lenses were found to absorb more UV radiation. Some soft contact lenses meet international standards for UV protection, and there is a significant difference in UV transmittance between lenses with positive and negative back vertex power.

Lens thickness and associated ocular biometric factors among cataract patients in Shanghai

Jiaqi Meng et al.

Summary: In a large Chinese cataractous population, the study found that thicker lens may be associated with older age, male gender, thicker CCT, shallower ACD, larger WTW, and flatter anterior corneal curvature. The change of LT was nonlinear as AL increased, with the thickest lens seen in the 20-22 mm AL group. The correlation between LT and other biometric factors remained significant even when stratified by ALs.

Current Developments in Corneal Topography and Tomography

Piotr Kanclerz et al.

Summary: Accurate assessment of corneal shape is crucial in cataract and refractive surgery, with corneal topography focusing on surface shape and tomography providing a three-dimensional section. Different technologies are used for these purposes, emphasizing the importance of thorough understanding for doctors involved in corneal surgery.
